I called back and spoke with my Dr.'s nurse. I asked her to read the report from the radiologist to me. I was hoping to hear "smooth, rounded edge" and "calcified" which indicates a benign lesion...instead I heard "irregular non-calcified nodule". Still this does not mean that it is not benign....but it isn't what I was hoping to hear.
The Internet is a wealth of information (maybe too much)...especially when your doc isn't very forthcoming. Perhaps he just doesn't want to worry me unnecessarily. But I like going into a consultation with at least a rudimentary understanding of what could be going on.
As we must account for every idle word, so must we account for every idle silence." ~Benjamin Franklin
